iewizard.dll

This file is reported as "missing" during some installations
of SP3. Please unzip this file and plae it in the Programs
subdirectory to the WPO2000 suite. This is the same
directory that contains pdxwin32.exe.
You should now be able to install SP3.

Pdx9SP3RegChanger.zip

Another possible reason for inability to install SP3 onto a
copy of standalone Paradox 9 may be a missing registry key
that is required by the SP, but installed only by the suite.
This Zip file is a form that you can run to install the
registry key.


If you are running a copy of the Suite that already
appears to be this version as installed from the box, it may be
that you can download newer import drivers from the Corel Web
site. If in doubt, please ask your CTechs who will be able to
help you determine your version (full information is not yet
available).

=============================
1. Introduction
=============================

The English version of WordPerfect Office Suite 2000
(WPO2K) SP3 is now available on the Corel FTP site. Go to
www.corel.ca to find a new WPO2K SP3 logo to take you to

http://www.corel.com/support/ftpsite/pub/
wordperfect/wpwin/office2000/sp3withform.htm

(split link)
for the Service Patch, and to

http://www.corel.com/support/ftpsite/pub/
wordperfect/wpwin/office2000/wp9sp3.htm

(split link)
for the release notes.

SP3 can be downloaded as two files of 77 and 23 MB or as a number

of smaller, 20 MB, files.

For the two-file download:

WP9SP3.EXE        77,433 KB
WP9SP3_2.EXE     23,576 KB

For the multi-file download:

Wp9sp3.exe        20,000 KB
Wp9sp3.w02        20,000 KB
Wp9sp3.w03        20,000 KB
Wp9sp3.w04        17,433 KB
WP9SP3_2.EXE     23,576 KB

Please note that this Serivce Patch is also available
at the following FTP address:

ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/
wpwin/9/wp9sp3/wp9sp3.exe

(the above address is split over two lines. There are
no spaces in it at all).
=============================
2. Process
=============================

1. If you have Paradox Runtime only, then please do nothing.
This Service Pack does not concern you. A Service Pack
for Paradox 9 RunTime, SP3, is available: see a separate FAQ.

2. At this time there are no individual patches or Service
Packs for any products in the WPO2K package. Service Packs
are for the whole Suite, and will simply not upgrade parts
that are not present.

3. WPO2K will upgrade any components of WPO2K,
regardless of their current SP level. However, see #4.

4. If you have WPO2K installed, have applied SP1, and
subsequently altered, replaced, or regressed any of the
components, you should replace or restore those components.
One popular alteration is the replacement of POP90.DLL from
SP1 by the version from the original distribution. You may
find that the easiest way to do this is to uninstall WPO2K
completely and re-install it from scratch. Similarly, if you
have regressed some components from SP2, SP3 might
get confused and not function correctly.

5. If you have Paradox 9 installed WITHOUT WordPerfect Office
2000 Suite (WPO2K), then you may have a problem installing
SP3, because of a missing registry key. The result will be
that SP3 will be unable to find iewizard.dll. You can alter
the registry key by hand if you wish, or you can unzip the
form, Pdx9SP3RegChanger.fsl from Pdx9SP3RegChanger.zip,
which is attached, and run that form. You will see on the
face of the form information that will allow you to make the
alteration by hand if you should so wish. You should also
explore the code to understand what it is doing - it is only
about 15 lines of very simple ObjectPAL.

Once you have checked out the form, you can run it. enter
the path to your WordPerfect 2000 directory and press the
button. The form will firstly check that Paradox is
installed beneath that, and then look for the key in the
registry. If it finds it, it will tell you. If not, you can
continue and install it. Press the button again to repeat
the process, to get confirmation that the key was installed.
Now proceed to step 6.

6. If you have complied with the instructions in 1-4 above,
you should be in a position to install WPO2K SP3. Reboot
your machine, close all Corel applications that may
automatically start in your configuration, and follow the
instructions in the release notes (section 4 below).

Please note that the above is based on _current_ knowledge.
While it is unlikely that any points here will "go away",
there may be extra items to add. If such come to light, we
will attempt to codify them and add them here.

Corel has indicated publicly that once WPO2K SP3 is released
work will resume on production of Paradox Runtime SP3 package.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in order to install
SP3, please:

a. proceed with the download
b. re-read this FAQ
c. _then_ ask questions on the NewsGroups.

=============================
3. Examples ...
=============================

This section will be filled with anecdotal reports of
experiences that may seem relevant to users. Please do not
take them as examples of the "Ultimate Truth", but of ways
in which other users have dealt with matters.

=============================
3a. Early Report of Experience
=============================

Your editor has installed WPO2K SP3 onto a standalone version
of Paradox Developer's Edition, 9.00.368, with no problems to
report.

The attachment, Pdx9SP3RegChanger.zip, has been used by at
least three establishments, and reviewed by Corel Tech
Support in Ottawa, and appears to be safe. It has operated
correctly so far. Obviously, further reports of success
would be welcome: please email any reports of failure
IMMEDIATELY to mirwin@voicenet.com !!!
